Windows 7: i dont know what its called, please just read

when i play games the require keyboard and mouse, i cant use my mouse for a couple seconds when i hit my keyboard...

for example, i play something that requires "wasd" to move around, and i need to mouse to aim a gun or somthing like that, i cant move it... is there a known way to disable this? its VERY annoying

That's odd. More than half my games I use the mouse/keyboard and all work great so I can't say its specific to windows 7. Can you provide a little more information? Is the mouse/key USB or PS/2? How old are they? Have they ever froze up while playing or normal computing?

My old keyboard(PS/2)/mouse(USB) would occasionally freeze on me while playing if I tried to do to many movements. I solved this by picking up a new usb board and mouse.

You might need to up your mouse and keyboard speeds in windows- I am not sure where to find them now- use start search and type in keyboard or mouse and up settings. First things I do after install os and before gaming is id up my keyboard and mouse speeds in windows- or can seem like lag or slow response in some games..

From game you might have to up mouse speeds or menus are slow- but can make your movements in game and aiming faster- if not to fast.. I try and hit a balance to speed up menus- but to fast in game can be a head ake sometimes..

** This is how I have mine set as defaults..>







Also just plugging in or unplug re plug mouse or keyboard might not work like that- you may need to reboot windows before it see the mouse or keyboard or it might not work.

See ya..

i dont think its windows 7 because i have another windows 7 laptop in my house and it doesnt do that.. maybe its just my laptop?

here if somone wants an example of what im talking about heres a link to a video i posted on utube
YouTube - windows 7 help me

Kyle, In your first post you did not mention that this was a laptop and I was originally wondering if any or all of your devices are wireless (bluetooth??). I have run 2+ devices on bluetooth simultaneously and seen bandwidth issues before. Can you give us more information on your hardware? Are you using the laptop keyboard and built-in touchpad?? Is your laptop in a dock and using external keyboard/mouse? The more info the better.

RayFinkle raises a good point. You gotta watch your setup especially the wireless stuff, unless you're willing to pay top dollar for you wireless mice/keyboards then you're bound to run into an issue or two.

You could try uninstalling your mouse and keyboard drivers, reboot then do a reinstall.

i am using a laptop and its the trappad that i was using, but ive fixed the problem, i bought an external mouse and i dont have the problem anymore

Cool. Glad you got it working. Thanks for posting how you solved it!
